What does it mean to “cure” cancer? Isn’t chemotherapy a largely effective solution? Why do they say cancer hasn’t been cured then?
In: Biology
It’s largely as meaningless a term as curing diseases. There are dozens of different types of just bowel cancer and probably thousands of different types of cancer in humans. So for some types of Lymphoma you can indeed argue we have cured it yet for other types such as pancreatic adenocarcinoma we basically have no effective treatments.
